Every morning my inbox is inundated with more job postings from a few job boards to which I subscribe. I scan through them, clicking on the ones that sound vaguely appealing, but the majority of them are jobs that hold absolutely no interest to me.
Gosh, you're so picky, you're probably thinking. While that may be true, this is also my life we're talking about, and I'm not going to waste it just doing anything. I might as well just do some more reading or studying while I wait. I'm making a modicum of money just freelancing silly articles. Besides, as unhappy as I am now, I'd be a thousand times worse off doing a job I hate.
I apply to about five jobs a day, which is how that figure in the last post is so high. I've got the process done by now -- upload a resume, input pertinent personal information, alter cover letter slightly to reflect requirements of job, pray for the best.
It's the waiting part that's the worst.
Whatever, I've got a media empire to build, a novel to write, and some languages to study. I will admit to having a newly formed Angry Birds addiction, but it's not that bad. Plus I can no longer play Words with Friends now that I deactivated my Facebook account (celebrating 9 days by the way)!
I'm motivated to find a job, I promise. Yesterday I found this gorgeous dress in Lord & Taylor that I am so going to buy once I have a steady income. But right now I have nowhere to go and no money of which to speak so the dress is on the backburner.
